Horizon view
Horizon from Mouchez J
79.5249° N, 38.5919° W · cell 18XFG
- Highest horizon point
- Mouchez J: 21.2° above the horizontal, 7.84 km away at azimuth 305°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.80 km away at azimuth 69°, 19.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,676 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 103° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.1°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:08 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
